Transportation Warranty Audits

Warranty audits from SGS – improve customer satisfaction, reduce and control warranty repair costs and identify new business opportunities.

OEMs rely on the dealer network to implement warranty schemes and account for work carried out. Warranty issues cause inconvenience that can in turn lead to customer dissatisfaction with the brand. To avoid these issues a dealer network must be optimally engaged in a complex three- or four-way exchange of information, parts, services and invoicing. A well functioning warranty process can turn a warranty event into a business opportunity.

To help make this happen our warranty audits examine the full picture of a dealer’s service area, the audited repair and the effectiveness of all processes within the service area. We can investigate and identify warranty issues, including overspend, with an audit program that:

Identifies dealers on the basis of OEM or SGS-calculated Key Performance Indicators

By investigating expenditure, overspending can be avoided, processes can be streamlined and your customers’ brand perceptions can be protected from damage. As a result, you can improve control of dealer warranty invoicing processes through pre-payment approvals or post-payment audits or screening.

Our service covers the entire automotive warranty control chain:
